Abstract
This article helps to define the state-of-the-art monitoring of hazardous, municipal, and medical waste incinerators -- what current regulations require and the capabilities of current monitoring systems. Recent conferences have highlighted new technologies for monitoring that may emerge in the next few years. Both laboratory and field tests are being conducted on combustion systems, power plants, and incinerators. There is intensive activity in this field. It is expected that the development of monitoring systems will provide the needed assurance that waste disposal systems can be monitored on a real-time basis. The public should be made aware of the present monitoring technology and its applications to incineration systems. The layperson must understand that we, the technical community, are as concerned with their health and safety as they are.
